Re: [ECOS] CDL error: "Attempt to divide non-numerical values"

Awesome, thanks Bart.  I tried the constant value and that worked.  I 
will experiment with the TCL expressions you described.

Note that this was working until I updated my CDL files.  I guess that 
the '3*1024*1024' works fine (as a string) until you tell CDL to treat 
it like a number.  In this case, I imported updates which tried to do 
"CYGPKG_NET_MEM_USAGE/4" and that led to the broken config.  All is 
clear now.

Thanks for the help.
